I read an article the other day and it has started a school of thought. Failure. Any failure can be turned into success. The article related several stories of people who have turned their failures into success.
When you fail, your brain becomes more focused and set on the task at hand, the learning curve is greatly improved and more knowledge is gained through failure.
I have told my daughters, you remember the answers you missed on a test more than the ones you got right. Life is about learning and growing. I guess that is why it is called "growing pains".
I remember the day I realized I didn't know all the answers and that I didn't have to. It was like a sun ray from the heavens shone down on me and gave me an epiphany. My learning curve definitely shot upward and it felt like a big burden had been lifted. If you are finishing others sentences, if you are thinking ahead of them when they talk to you, if you already think you know it all, then you are missing out on alot. My suggestionn is to learn from others.
Do I want more failure? heck no. I'm not sure I could handle the genius status!
